One of the things that I like to do is make a top ten of songs off albums that have been playing on my stereo. It's a simple way of letting people know that there's more out there than what the radio stations play and most of the time, I get into the unknown more than the known.
This week we have....
1. Rock And Roll (from how the west was won) Led Zeppelin
2. Getting In Tune-The Who
3. Danger-JJ Cale/Eric Clapton
4. Paingiver-Full Fathom Five
5. Sweet Emotion/Lord Of The Thighs (From live bootleg) Aerosmith
6. Talk Tonight/Lyla-Oasis
7. Lady Madonna (from Love) Beatles
8. Everybody Gets One For Free-Cracker
9. Memphis Streets-Albert Lee With Country Fever
10. Country Girl-Primal Scream
Seems to be a classic rock in a live setting format this weekend, but upon checking out Pandora's Box the other week, I decided that Aerosmith still rocks 30 years later. Full Fathom Five was originally from Iowa City and made a couple of Husker Du soundalike albums and then Eric Messner went on to KGAN for a while.
Getting In Tune doesn't get played too often on classic rock radio but KUNI, the public radio station played the vinyl version (including scratches) after I spent Saturday Night in Anamosa.
Kudos to the Pizza Ranch for fixing all them pizzas for me to chow down on at the buffet ;-)
Interesting to note that they're always busy in the afternoons but on a Saturday Night, it was just me and another party and they were leaving when I got in there.
The Albert Lee song comes from the Castle/Sanctuary compliation That's All Right Mama which showcase Albert's recording career for Bell Records. Lee and fellow bandmate Chas Hodges lead the same band, when Albert sang they were known as Country Fever, alas when Chas took over the vocals they were known as Black Claw. Derek Lawrence (Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash) produced their sessions.
With Thanksgiving now over, we can now say it's now time to play Christmas music. So time to blow the dust off them and annoy the neighbors.
